Dear DPS.

[Zigkid3]

I wait a few seconds for the tank to establish threat. If I wail on just the marked target I'll start pulling aggro off of the tank (a lot of people don't seem to realize there's an aggro meter to the left of the screen). In order to allow the tank to keep their threat, if i spread DoTs I can ensure that instead of putting hard aggro on one thing i can instead have small aggro spread out so I won't get aggro and the tank can keep their aggro on everything. plus the overall dps will be greater for faster dungeon runs.

However just to note, I don't completely ignore the kill target. i'll put dots on that one first and will use my first two combo abilities on it to get demolish (dot) ready for another target. and if a target is literally almost dead I'll go ahead and just finish it off. If it's an add that's a healer or something of course ill take it down first, but for normal trash with nothing really special, I'll do the above statement.
